This was interesting for me.  A top public health specialist in South Africa during the plenary address at an HIV Conference suggested that the well known South African variant of Covid 19, Beta (501Y.V2), could have originated from a patient whose immunity was suppressed because of HIV.

Quote:"   [...] for all we know the original 501Y.V2 variant may have come from an immunosuppressed patient with HIV”.

Now that opens limitless possibilities.  And could also explain why different communities may have different responses to the same Covid 19 vaccine? And how it only takes one person to start it all.

Quote:Karim’s thesis was reinforced by a later scientific presentation by Professor Tulio de Oliveira, who described “the possibility that immune-compromised individuals (with HIV being the biggest population in Africa) could become the source of SARS-CoV-2 and variant evolution”.

He deduced that it was “most likely that virus evolution was driven by selective pressure from an impaired antibody response (due to HIV)”.

De Oliveria added that this “highlights the possibility that immune compromised individuals (with HIV being the biggest cause of immunosuppression in Africa) could become the source of SARS-CoV-2 and variant evolution.”

Quote:'This is a syndemic,' said Dr. Jonathan Li, using a term that describes the confluence of two epidemics with the potential to worsen outcomes for both.

This is really interesting and I would love to learn more, I am currently doing independent research on the use of mRNA variant vaccines to create HIV. The one good thing that seems to have come out of the Pandemic was that HIV can be even more treatable than the current generation of mediations.

It's mean the virus is unstoppable. and subsequently change there DNA to be alive in this world. also it happens when scientist go to the wrong way to kill or disable the virus capabilities. a small mistake is more helpful for virus to convert into new shape and face. that is well known theory to keep alive of viruses in the world. same as old antibiotics not work on new type of viruses. or even helpful for viruses and bacteria.
